Using 2 distributions;Deleting windows partition-help required

[Kaustubh Ghosh]

Considering  /dev/hdc4 as the linux swap and /dev/hdc6 as the partition I want 
to delete to can you tell me how to change them to install the other 
distribution.
I mean,it will ask for a /  partition and a swap partition .How will I provide 
that to it.Please  also tell me how to make the new distro boot from the swap 
partition.
Will the installed FC1 still be Accessible.Will there be any conflict between 
the two.(The reason why I want to install a new distro is to avoid some 
conflicts due to upgradation from RedHat 8 to FC1 which are cropping up 
specially in case of java and winex.)What options will I get from the  GRUB 
prompt when the system boots up.
Thanks.
